Hunger in the school holidays: Millions of British children at risk

Up to three million British children risk going hungry during the school holidays because they don't have access to free school meals, or are living in poverty.

That's the findings of a new report by a panel of cross-party MPs, who say the problem can be solved.

They're calling on the Government to direct money - raised by its sugary drinks tax -- to fund local councils to help end the problem.

Sky's Tom Parmenter has this special report.
